So I need a new card, I have a 20" monitor at 1680 x 1050. I'm trying to keep it under 240$, Still can't decide with all the reviews. Any help would great thanks.
 
I would say 4850 will play most of your games maxed out in settings or close but little or no AA could be applied.

If you got the extra dough I'd suggest a GTX 260 for 4870
 
I'd love to suggest a 4870 for your resolution: As I've got one and it games fine...

But the driver problems are driving me insane. I'd grab a cheap GTX260 and go from there.
 
my 4870 works fine at 1680x1050 but at this point i'd grab a GTX260. great card for the price. i also recommend going with EVGA. great company.

At that res and price point you could go up to a GTX260. Unless you can find a deal you're reaching for the 1gb 4870. 1680 is just low enough that you're not overly penalized for having a 512mb card so the 512mb 4870 or even the 4850 would not be pathetic.
